Yes, and the output is quite interesting. The broadcast misreport of
192.168.1.255 is still there for eth0, while the correct one should be
192.168.0.255, and the netmask 255.255.255.0, for the LAN connection
between my desktop and laptop. And believe me, I never changed anything
there, my knowledge of these things being so aggressively inadequate. I
am pasting it:
